255 35 19 / 265 35 19 x drive combo anyone??

Figgs_1979 · 05-27-2022, 11:23 AM

Just awaiting my OEM 437s to come back from powder coat.

Been contemplating:

255 35 19 f
265 35 19 r

Tire calculator shows the diff @ 1.1 %
Do you think this is safe to run?

I mean your just over the 1% allowance. Love the idea of a chunkier tire up front and don't want to run 255 square as I am not a big fan of the 255 on the 10" wide wheel. Want a little meat out back.

Thoughts anyone.

F30 x-drive lowered with 255/265 on 19" 788M(same spec as 437M)

if you are lowered(or going to) 245/35/19 & 285/30/19, 0.08% is also an option if you want rear width

Aloha. Thanks for the response.

I am liking the 285/45 combo. I am lowered on B14's. Nothing to slammed but got rid of that ugly X-Drive fender gap. Sitting with an index finger of space. Cant wait for the wheels and rubber to be mounted up. I'll post up some pics for sure.

If you counter in that 265 is a little bit stretched on the 10" wheels, then the difference is even less than 1.05%.
